A recent dilema.
When inspecting some wiring in an office block,we have discovered that the previous sparkies have fed the lighting via a multicore swa cable.This has about six feeds and neutrals down it,and the common earth sheath. It is fed via six seperate mcbs at the dis board.
I know it seems bizarre but is this ok.
After all its judt the same as a common trunking etc.
As long as the cable is fit for the highest voltage present.
Opinions please.
 
As long as the Earth loop is good for the highest rating breaker, I can’t see a problem.
